I've been taking Hindi classes with Ali for the past couple of years, and it's made such a difference for me. I grew up in Chennai, hearing little to no Hindi around me, and so really felt the need to learn the language when I moved to Mumbai for work. I was insecure in speaking Hindi but after classes with Ali at Zabaan, I've grown in confidence and have reached a stage where I'm able to have conversations, professional and personal, without worrying (like I used to) about how I sound or if I'm making mistakes. There's an ease I feel with the language now that's very freeing. Thanks Ali and Zabaan for teaching Hindi in a way that's accessible, fun and non-judgmental.

I really enjoyed the Urdu Script class. I was so surprised that it was free! The material provided really helped and having recordings of each lesson so that I could review it in my own time. Thanks to Riya! 😀

I took an intensive beginner Hindi course with Zabaan for a month in Delhi in 2019. The teachers were incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated. The course was fast paced but comprehensive. Since returning to Australia I have begun online lessons with Rachayta. She is a fantastic teacher who is able to explain the origin and cultural context of words. She has made Hindi grammar easier to understand with plenty of examples; and she caters the lessons to my interests. I highly recommend learning Hindi at Zabaan.
